A meaningful poem

someone from spsd shared this poem by sensei during the kenshu last week, meaningful it is, shall let it be a constant reminder for me, yup so this post will be here to stay for 1 year! haha pls scroll down to view the other posts

"Today, i re-dedicate my life to Kosen Rufu
To be strong
so that nothing can upset the peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and hope to
every person I meet.
To make my friend feel that there is something
good and beautiful about them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and
to be optimistic about them.
To think only the best.
Work towards doing and expecting the best.
To be just as happy as about the success
of others as I am about myself.
To forget any mistake of the past and to press forward
to greater achievement in the future.
To give in so much time in improving myself,
that I have no time to criticize others.
To be strong for fear, too kind for anger,
and too happy for worry.
To lift my heart in faith each day.
So that Gohonzon may show forth in my faith.
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."
--Daisaku Ikeda

long time since last post.

long time since i last login... results out..

was it up to expectations? could have being better. strangely, the figure came up to my mind when i was chanting n mystically tt's the cap i got.

surprises and shocks as usual. I told myself that time, i must break 2 curse.. 1 is get more than b+ for non-core, 2nd is no bs.. but then i rmb telling myself, get more than b+ is my last chance, while the other one still got chance..

and why did i even aim more than b+ instead of A? and hence i get wad i "wanted"

design was a pleasant surprise. i was wet, i was late. yet i got unexpected result. tt time i slp only 2 hrs yet get A for thermo was a "miracle" but during the exam i expect it. this time i dun. was aiming like b+? hoping for A-? but unexpectedly.

but i hate e trend in my result, one paper after another is drop by 1 grade. argh if it was improve i will be happier. and it's not exactly drop, e last one is by 2 :S:S:S.

all i can say is..could have been better.

a short post on my hols..

not bad, if i nv fall sick. ya quite sucky to fall sick

1st day saw a huge iguana.. like 1 m? but poor lizard got caught in e rain nowhere to go, too bad no camera with me then. it's scaly

when for ippt today. bit mad considering i was sick, so didn't expect to do well esp it's on track also. wanted to have a leisure jog but once again too fast, 1st rd 1:25. but after that i relax liao, even wanted to stop but didn't. end up with a 10:39, so i could have just walked for 1+ min. next time must train more on track, must strive to beat the officers!

but heard from my fren tt CO was stunned when i was taking my standing board jump when he was beside me. cos according to my fren, i was like "easily" jump 243, took my tag, then walk off. I supposed its not a norm to pass there ah..

anyway had a great buffet,turkey, ham, lots of yummy food. and most impt it's free! lol.. looking forward to the next one..soon

Guidance..

“While you idle away your hours on the pretext of your cruel lot or a lack of time or money, your golden days of youth are flying away. First of all, you must overcome your circumstances, Life is a struggle in which you emerge as a winner or a loser. You must conquer yourselves before anything else, using the methods that you think best suited to you.”
